There are some big surprises in store for viewers when The Biggest Loser's fourth season premieres, including new host Allison Sweeney; the return of former trainer Jillian Michaels; and a new "secret" Black Team of contestants that had failed to be chosen for the traditional Red and Blue Teams.

First Jillian Michaels, now Caroline Rhea. NBC has announced that The Biggest Loser will have a new host for its fourth season, with Days of Our Lives actress Alison Sweeney replacing Rhea as the host of the reality weight loss competition show.

With a final weight loss figure that represented more than half his original body weight, Erik Chopin, a 36-year-old from West Islip, New York, was crowned The Biggest Loser's third season winner during last night's live finale broadcast of the NBC reality show.

NBC has announced that it has tweaked its schedule for its upcoming The Biggest Loser Special Edition series, deciding to launch the show's six-week run with a two-hour premiere on Wednesday, January 4 at 8PM ET/PT and instead preempt the show's January 25 broadcast.

NBC has revealed the identities of the fourteen men and women who will be competing on the upcoming second season of its The Biggest Loser reality weight loss competition series. The Biggest Loser 2will debut on Tuesday, September 13 with a special 8:00-9:30PM ET/PT premiere.
